Grateful Dead Dancing Bears Fort Knocks
Even if you’re not a die hard Dead Head, you’ve almost certainly seen this friendly fivesome before. First appearing on the back cover of the 1973 album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice), the Dancing Bears* have stuck around as a staple of music iconography for 50 years. And just like the music of the Dead will never stop, we’re pretty sure the Dancing Bears aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Built to last on the fan-favorite Fort Knocks, this pair lets you bring some tie-dye Dancing Bears cheer along no matter where you’re headed!
*If you talk to a purist, they’ll tell you the bears are marching, not dancing. But like thousands of other Deads Heads already have, we’re happy to encourage alternative interpretations.

In 2022, Knockaroud officially became Plastic Neutral—for every pound of plastic we use, we remove one pound from the environment elsewhere. But that’s far from where our sustainability efforts end. We’ve also implemented minimalist, recycled packaging, eliminated single-use plastics, and included recycled materials in our products whenever possible. There’s always more progress to be made, but we’re committed to putting in the work.
Stay Glare Aware
Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Who we are
Born, raised, and bathed in San Diego sunshine, Knockaround is the original, affordable sunglasses brand. Since 2005 we’ve committed to making durable shades that are both practical and stylish. Our stellar customer service and ever-growing selection of high-quality eyewear have made us not just hometown favorites, but go-to’s across the globe!
Committed to Sustainability
Making high-quality shades is the core of what we do, but inevitably that means we contribute to excess plastic byproduct. The idea of being a net drain on the environment doesn’t sit well with us, so we partnered with 4ocean to maintain plastic neutrality and work further to improve the environmental friendliness of our process.

These glasses came with an awesome box and back for them that is actually made to clean them too. But these are some of the flies glasses I've seen or had in a long time I love the grateful Dead and what a great way to remember them
First of all, I am a sunglasses fanatic and I am a second generation Dead Head. I love playfulness of these frames and lenses. I have had my pair for almost a year and they are still holding up and looking brand new. I only wish these had the rubberized nose part, because I do have a problem with them slipping off the top of my head when I pull them up. This was the first paid I purchased but I also just took advantage of the BOGO and just ordered 2 more pairs of different glasses. I cannot wait for them to arrive!!!
